Perfect gift: 2012 Polka & Bloom pattern subscription

This has been on my mind for quite a while and now it's finally here: Polka & Bloom pattern subscription! For 2012 it's a bi-monthly subscription, so you'll get 6 patterns. And I wouldn't be surprised if there were a surprise or two as well.. ;-)

The first pattern will be emailed on January 15th.

So if you love stitching and want Polka & Bloom patterns delivered straight to your inbox with no effort, this subscription is for you! And you save a pretty penny too. :-)

The pattern subscription is also a great gift for friends or family members who love to stitch. Maybe with a selection of fun floss colours or a nice pair of embroidery scissors. I've made a gift card envelope which you can download with the purchase and personalise. And yes, it is quite alright to give yourself the gift of stitching! ;-)

December Polka & Bloom shop freebie

Did you know that you get a free pattern with every pattern or ebook you buy from Polka & Bloom? Well, you do!

It's taken me a bit longer than planned, but the December pattern is now ready. If you've purchased a pattern or ebook already this month, I'll be emailing the pattern to you in the next few days. I hope you enjoy it! :-)

2012 Calendars new colour to pre-order!

Thank you very much for your kind comments and emails about the fabric calendars! Two of the designs have sold out and there are just three calendars left of the current batch!

I'll be re-ordering the next lot later tonight, so if you'd like one of the two designs (Red Outline and Green Outline) which have already sold out, you can pre-order them now to make sure you get the one you want!

I'll also be ordering a Blue Outline version, so if you're interested in that, please make a pre-order so I can know how many to put in this lot.

Don't forget there's free shipping to anywhere in the world for all calendars! :-)

Make 2012 a Polka & Bloom year!

I've been stitching on something brand new: 2012 Polka & Bloom calendar panels! So very exciting! They're the perfect gift or just something to make for yourself.

You can stitch over the lines in the design, with 2-3 strands of floss you should be able to cover them fairly well with any colour you like. Or add buttons, beads or whatever embellishment you fancy. Make it your own!

There are two different colour ways: red and green. And two different types: a delicate linework version and one that's a bit more full-on with the colours. Only two available of each version at the moment. So get in there while stocks last.

They may just get to you before Christmas if you buy 'em now. Would be a pretty nice Christmas present for the stitchily inclined in your life! Just $15 with free shipping anywhere. :-)

Check 'em out. :-)
